Safety, trust & environment

I always want to make sure you and your animal feel comfortable with me. I always schedule a free meet and greet with new clients to get acquainted with you and your animal so you feel comfortable with me being in your home. I would like specific instructions on anything about your pet that I may need to be aware of. For example, if there are things I can do to make your animal feel more comfortable when I enter and leave, need to check litter box for poops for constipated cats, etc.

Information Elke B. would like to know about your pet

Again, communication is key in order for me to provide the best care to your animals. If your animal has preferences on how they like to be walked, played with, fed, approached, etc., please let me know!

A typical day

I like playing the way they like to play. If your animal enjoys fetch, pulling on a rope toy, peanut butter in a Kong toy, or dog parks, I am happy to do any of these things at your request. For the kitties, I love playing with a laser pointer, playing with feather toys and lots of cuddles. I understand every animal is different and has different preferences so please let me know what your fur baby likes/dislikes.

Excited to care for your fur baby!

Pet care experience

Holiday Update: I will be out of town for Thanksgiving but am available the entire month of December. Availability: I do work a full-time job and have a toddler so flexibility works best with my schedule. My work schedule is super flexible so I am available anytime of day (depending on the day) and the more notice the better so I can block out my calendar! I mostly sit for cats as having a flexible drop-in window is best. I love animals! I have had pets nearly my whole life. I started pet sitting when I was very young and had dreams of becoming a veterinarian. I unfortunately can't handle blood so I was unable to live out that dream. :) I had a cat named Clyde that I's had for about 11 years who passed away May 2023 after battling kidney disease and lymphoma for several years. Because of his health issues I am experienced in giving medications (pill and liquid), cleaning out his ears, and even administering an IV drip every other day. I have also administered medications to many other cats and have had no issues. Call me the kitty whisperer! 😊 I also have a lot of experience working with dogs of all sizes on training, feeding, walking, etc. I understand our fur babies are our children and will treat your animals with the utmost care and respect as I would expect the same care to be given to my animal. I am looking forward to caring for your baby! I also have experience caring for other animals such as small rodents (gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, sugar gliders, hamsters), chickens, reptiles, and fish. I am happy to feed your other animals too! I also an happy to do other household help while you are away like bringing in the mail and packages, watering plants, etc. New to Rover?

Elke provided peace of mind caring for our very social, very needy cat, who just lost her longtime cat buddy. Pictures, videos, updates, would recommend to all.

Elke was very communicative and helpful in caring for our two higher-maintenance kitties. She was able to give one of our cats supplements needed for his urinary condition and offered to help us with our garbage and some ants that got into the house without me asking anything. We appreciate her thoughtfulness and would definitely recommend her.

The babies love Elke, but more importantly we don't worry about the cats one bit while she is taking care of them!
